II. Summary of the PR Notice

The draft PR Notice proposes that

grass seed screenings and straw derived

from grass grown for seed should be

commodities on which residue data are

provided. Under this amended policy,

EPA would establish pesticide

tolerances for these commodities based

on such data if such tolerances are

consistent with the safety standard

under FFDCA.

Currently, the Residue Chemistry

Guidelines (OPPTS 860 Series) do not

clearly define whether data should be

provided for pesticide residues in grass

grown for seed. In the absence of such

data, EPA cannot set tolerances for

pesticide residues in animal

commodities derived from grass grown

for seed. In addition, on at least three

occasions, concerns have been

expressed by state regulatory agencies

and some segments of the agricultural

community in the Northwest over the

absence of tolerances for residues of

pesticides in grass seed screenings and

straw.

Grass seed screenings were listed in

the June 1994 version of Table II of the

Subdivision O Guidelines as a raw

agricultural commodity (RAC) and

livestock feedstuff. However, in July

1995, the screenings were dropped from

the table because they were not

considered to be a significant livestock

feed item by the criteria developed at

that time. Based on the concerns raised

by the various groups in the Northwest,

EPA has reexamined this decision.

In conjunction with the deletion of

minor feed commodities from Table 1 of

the OPPTS Test Guidelines 860.1000 in

1996, EPA revoked tolerances for

pesticide residues in or on those feed

commodities. EPA did not intend for

these revocations to have the

consequence of rendering these

commodities adulterated under FFDCA

if they contain pesticide residues. To

address this situation, EPA issued the

following interpretation of its tolerance

regulations:

It is not EPA’s intention that [revocation of

tolerances for insignificant feed items]

should have the effect of rendering the

affected commodities adulterated due to the

absence of a tolerance. Rather, EPA interprets

its tolerance regulation for the principal RAC

[raw agricultural commodities] as covering

any insignificant livestock feed commodities

(i.e., those not in Table I) of that crop as

provided below. (62 FR 66020, December 17,

1997)

This interpretation addresses most of

the insignificant feed commodities

dropped from Table 1. However, this

interpretation would not apply to grass

seed screenings because there is no RAC

associated with this feed item.

Accordingly, EPA is proposing to

reinstitute grass seed screenings as a

livestock feed item on Table 1 of the

OPPTS Test Guidelines 860.1000. This

step would provide guidance to affected

parties that residue data should be

submitted on these commodities and the

submission of these data would allow

EPA to establish tolerances on these

commodities. In addition, grass straw

would be added to Table 1 of Guideline

860.1000 based on changes in practices

and the resulting increasing use as a

livestock feed.

Comments are requested concerning (a)

whether the proposed collection of

information is necessary for the proper

performance of the functions of the

Commission, including whether the

information shall have practical utility;

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s

burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance

the quality, utility, and clarity of the

information collected; and (d) ways to

minimize the burden of the collection of

information on the respondents,

including the use of automated

collection techniques or other forms of

information technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Approval Number: 3060–0139.

Title: Application for Antenna

Structure Registration.

Form No.: FCC 854, and FCC 854

ULS.

Type of Review: Revision of a

currently approved collection.

Respondents: Individuals; Businesses

or other for-profit entities; Not-for-profit

institutions; State, Local or Tribal

Government.

Number of Respondents: 4,500.

Estimated Time Per Response: 30

minutes.

Frequency of Response: On occasion

reporting requirements.

Cost to Respondents: $0.

Total Annual Burden: 2,250 hours

Needs and Uses: Section 303(q) of the

Communications Act, as amended,

authorizes the Commission to require

the painting and/or illumination of

radio towers in cases where there is a

reasonable possibility that an antenna

structure may cause a hazard to air

navigation. The data collected is

required by the Communications Act of

1934, as amended; FCC Rules Section

1.61(a), 17.4, 21.11(g), 25.113(c),

73.3533(c), 74.551(c), 74.651(d),

74.1251(d), 78.109(c), 95.83(a)(3),

97.15(d).

This FCC form is to be used for the

purpose of registering structures used

for wire or radio communication

services within the United States, or to

make changes to an existing registered

structure, or to notify the Commission of

the dismantlement of a structure. The

Commission staff will evaluate the

antenna data submitted by the tower

owner and determine if Part 17 rule

requirements are met and if any

obstruction painting and/or lighting will

be necessary. The tower owner will

receive notification that the Commission

has registered the structure,

modification or dismantlement on FCC

Form 854R, Antenna Structure

Registration. Owners of new and

modified towers must notify the

Commission within 24 hours of

construction completion and/or

disposition of structure, using a portion

of the FCC Form 854R which is

detachable.

The Commission has completed the

final phase of the initial two year

registration period for the revised

antenna structure registration process.

We estimate a significant decrease

(adjustment) in the number of total

respondents from 43,000 to 4,500 and a

decrease in the total annual burden from

21,500 hours to 2,250 hours as a result

of a re-evaluation of receipts due to the

program change implemented two years

ago.

The Commission is currently

developing a Universal Licensing

System (ULS) which combines 11

separate databases into one. The

databases are gradually being converted

to ULS and use is subsequently being

phased in. Antenna Structure

Registration will be part of the ULS and

Form 854 is being re-designed for use

with ULS. We will need to maintain

approval on both the current Form 854

and the Form 854ULS until ULS is fully

implemented. At that time, we will

submit a modification to the collection

to reflect the obsolescence of the current

FCC Form 854.

The Form 854ULS differs from the

Form 854 as follows: ULS will assign a

sequential file number to each filing for

tracking purposes. The purpose of

‘‘Registration of an existing antenna

structure’’ has been deleted and

purposes of ‘‘Duplicate’’, ‘‘Withdraw

pending’’, ‘‘Amendment’’ and ‘‘Cancel’’

have been added. When applicable, FCC

854ULS will collect ‘‘file number of

pending application for antenna

structure registration on file’’;

coordinates for center of structure array;

contact representative information;

overall height above mean sea level; and

FAA notification issue date. Form

854ULS will collect only NAD83 datum

of coordinates (no longer a NAD27

option). FCC 854ULS will not collect

‘‘issue date of most current

registration’’; nature of modification;

FAA Regional Office name; ‘‘Date FAA

Notification was filed’’; or ‘‘FCC

Painting and Lighting Paragraphs’’.

FCC 854ULS will collect Taxpayer

Identification Number (TIN) of the

antenna structure owner. For

individuals, TIN is your Social Security

Number; for other entities, it is

Employer Identification Number (EIN).

In order to use ULS, each antenna

structure owner will be required to

register their Taxpayer Identification

Number and any associated registration

numbers with the Commission. TIN will

provide a ‘‘link’’ to all antenna structure

registrations associated to any one

owner. Use of Taxpayer Identification

Number in the Universal Licensing

System will allow pre-filling of data by

searching the database and displaying

all pertinent data associated to any

given TIN, as well as for Debt Collection

purposes. It will also improve and

lessen the burden of the volume of data

the public will have to enter for later

filings. Taxpayer Identification Numbers

(TINS) will not be displayed to the

public. Additionally, we have updated

the privacy act and public burden

statements and the FAA Regional Office

names and addresses.

The number of respondents is not

being adjusted due to the new form.

Antenna structure owners will be

required to file either the current form

or the new form, depending upon the

timeframe in which the Antenna

Structure Registration database is

converted to ULS. Owners will be

required to file the current form 854

until such time as a public notice is

issued announcing conversion to ULS

and requirements to begin using the

Form 854ULS. Once Antenna Structure

Registration is implemented in ULS, the

current Form 854 process will no longer

be available.

The estimated burden per form

remains at 30 minutes. As users of ULS

become more familiar with using the

system, this burden estimate may need

to be adjusted to reflect the electronic

filing process. We encourage the use of

electronic filing for antenna structure

registration. ULS will provide many

enhancements which are not available

in the current interactive/electronic

filing process.
